    About this audiobook

    David Lamb, critically-acclaimed author of The Arabs, spent four years in Africa as a news correspondent, traveling through 48 of its countries. Written in 1983, The Africans is a remarkable and very personal commentary on the people of this vast continent. It offers colorful, close-up views of presidents, peasants, guerilla leaders, and merchants while tracing a vivid history of one of the most varied populations on earth. Everyone interested in world cultures will find The Africans a fascinating experience.

      A contemporary informative work on modern post colonial sub saharan Africa. Its timeline is a bit dated of course (60-84) but it is thorough, insightful and honest (mostly) first hand account. Highly recommanded if you to want to learn more about this critical and misunderstood continent.
